When I try to use System Restore to reset to previous checkpoint, (previous month, March) it will not reset. Instead I get the message cannot restore, "Printer Driver Microsoft XPS Document Writer Installed"! I did not install this driver, unless it came in as a Windows Update.

Try uninstalling this device from Control Panel...Printers and Faxes

If it's not located there, you may have to uninstall it through the Control Panel...Add/Remove Programs applet - or the Add/Remove Windows Features link in the left sidebar of the Add/Remove Programs applet.

Did you delete the driver itself, or did you uninstall the device using one of the methods recommended above?
If you just deleted the driver, it's likely that remnants of the program are still littered about your system and your registry.

Depending on how you got the XPS stuff, there should be an entry in Control Panel...Add/Remove Programs to remove it. On my XP Virtual Machine it's labelled "XPS Essentials Pack". Try uninstalling it from there.
